Supplier's note

  1. Technical Breakthroughs:

    • Adjustable Range: The Pro Model’s 10.4mm detection range (30% longer than Base) enables precise sensing in large machinery.
    • IP69K Rating: The Pro Model withstands high-pressure washdowns, critical for food or chemical industries.
    • Dual Output Configurations: The Advanced Model’s NO/NC options simplify integration into complex control systems.

  2. Version Selection Guidance:

    • Base Model: Suitable for basic automation (e.g., conveyor belt monitoring) where IP65 protection suffices.
    • Advanced Model: Ideal for industrial robotics or food processing requiring 5Vdc compatibility and IP67 durability.
    • Pro Model: Best for harsh environments (e.g., chemical plants) needing extreme resistance and extended detection.

Example Use Case: With the Pro Model’s IP69K rating and 10.4mm range, operators can safely monitor metal parts in a high-pressure cleaning zone without recalibration.
